Hoboweasel's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Parasitemas]

What a pleasant compilation...

Honestly, I found it a bit lacking in closure. Still, the animation (provided in part by one of my favorite macabre artists) was quite well done (certainly enough to keep me watching it). Still, I would have preferred an alternate ending. If you'd like an example, I've included one below.

I really liked most of the film, actually. I'm quite the connoisseur of unabated creativity, and this flash most certainly had its fair share of that. I was, however, a little off-put by the fact that you overlooked a lot of potential symbolism (in that your flash was based around tapeworms). To me, tapeworms symbolize a lot of things (namely humanity's parasitic relationship with the world around it). That said, I would have had the tapeworms take over the government and broadcast commercials about ludicrous worm-based consumer goods. I'd then show stores filled with worm-based clothing, food, video games, etc.; a shot of children clamoring at store windows; something blazes across the sky; then a shot of a morbidly obese tapeworm dressed in what could only be adequately described as 'Santa' attire in a sleigh being pulled by eight tapeworms and a functionally retarded tapeworm with a glowing nose; said 'tapeworm Santa' proceeds to rocket through the air and sends out more tapeworms which proceed to travel down people's chimneys; show a shot of said tapeworms crawling down people's chimneys and vomiting presents; children opening the presents; one kid gets a jack-in-the box, winds it up, and a tapeworm pops out and devours him; then shots of the kids going insane and tapeworms flying out of every conceivable orifice; then a shot of children in third-world countries opening worm-based presents and being devoured; then a panning shot of worms devouring entire cities; then a shot of continents slowly being engulfed by worms; then a shot of a t-bone steak (or whatever random thing comes to mind in order to signify the attention span of anyone watching the video and attempting to perceive any sort of message).

Hope you liked my idea (or at least thought it was funny). Keep up the good work.

I liked it, I wanted everyone to have as much freedom as they wanted, And just do whatever came to mind, Thanks for the review glad you like it. ;)

[Dragon Ball Zee]

Very... powerful.

I really like Gonzossm's animation style, but the comedy writing also really brought a lot to the flash. Awesome work.

[Swimmin with the Sharks]

Well...

I hope it's not disturbing, but this was essentially what I thought when I saw that comment... Yeah... Brilliant flash though, I loved that shark sort of traumatized and sitting alone in the corner...

[Kenya Bros]

Well honestly...

I thought it was pretty funny through the beginning... After that I was just sort of waiting for something to happen in the vast dense space of that rant on ostracizing artists (mainly yourself) from collaborative cartoons... Then of course you make it bloody hilarious with the inclusion of the 'n word'. This is racism done right... Wasn't really offensive as it was funny, so props for that.

I hope you get included in the next collab. Good work, sir.

[The Northern Incident]

Gripping mental horror with a bit of humor.

I honestly was ready for something completely serious and horrifying... Not to say that furries aren't horrifying, just a little more comical than I was expecting. The story was great, while leaving out a few main details. I still liked it. You really felt the mental unrest of the man as he was sitting there, horror-stricken.

I also love your animation, so I'd say this is also a testament to how talented you are. The animation in this flash was also outstanding. Very clear and precise, fluid, and aesthetic.

Good job, sir.

[WGJ4K: Robert Burgless]

I HAVE ISSUES!!!!!

Reminds me of JTHM just out of the pure frustration and excess rage.

It really wasn't all that bad, for the ending at least... I mean, I guess you're trying to build more of a realistic storyline around it now, eh? Not the best, but as Mickey sez: "I don't give a shit!" teehee~ :3

[A Christmas Special, or]

You sick fuck...

... I love this!!! :D

[.Robots.]

KILL EVERY LIVING THING THAT MOVES

sounds a bit vague, lol... But what about the laws of robots though? :C
Really liked the flash, lyrics were cool, but I didin't like the singers :/

koit responds:

Oh poo flakes, singers were me. ;(

[Turing Test]

BUT... WHO WAS PHONE!?!

Definitely some nice /x/ material ya got there :3
Very original and well thought out. Kinda makes you think of Cleverbot for example. The flash animation wasn't all that detailed... (in comparison to the things you could have done with the limited movements), but it was good enough, in my opinion, to make front page. Anyway, really liked the story, I should tell it to people around a campfire or something xD Even scarier was that you used Newgrounds' ad spot, nice touch :D

Jimtopia responds:

If you actually write out a campfire version of this story, drop me a PM, I'd love to read it! Also, thanks for the review.

[Adam Android DVD]

Rocks out*

Overall, the characters looked a bit weird, and the detail was minimal :/ However, the animation was solid and everything still flowed pretty well. Props for FLCL too xD
